Getting to the Heart of the Work for PK-12 English Learners
Facilitator, Author and Speaker : Dr. Nancy Akhavan
Held Virtual Live
Date: Postponed. A new date to be determined
Fee $200
English learners may have learning gaps from distance learning, they need to be taught in a way that meets their needs. We have to be honest and admit that learning gaps exist, and through carefully crafted instruction, we can close those gaps. Teachers need to teach direct lessons that support students in reading and writing instruction and infuse subjects like science, math, and social studies with content-area literacy. This workshop will discuss exactly what English learners need to increase their reading and writing ability, learn content and acquire academic English to excel in school and move toward redesignation. By using data to guide instruction, teachers can create lessons that meet student needs in language, literacy, and content.

With ever-changing discipline laws and regulations coupled with a return to in-person learning, the alternative discipline framework from Don’t Suspend Me! will help guide educators with a true restorative approach and help them avoid reverting to traditional, exclusionary discipline practices. This workshop is designed to shine a light on the disproportionality in school discipline for underserved student populations and provide the why, what, and how around alternative discipline.
